Here Are the 2017 Facebook Awards Winners

Which advertising campaigns took home 2017 Facebook Awards? The social network revealed this year’s winners in a blog post Thursday. Facebook said in its blog post: Love was the most popular submission category. An impressive 49 percent of all entries were tagged with the Love emotion. Messenger bots made waves. This was especially true for entries from Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and North America—many of their top-scoring entries incorporated Messenger bots into their campaigns. Small businesses had a strong turnout. The number of short-listed campaigns by small businesses increased among North America entries. Six of the 23 finalists were small businesses and two were nonprofits. The Wow category broke new ground. Entries in the Wow category showcased creativity and boundary-pushing on Facebook and Instagram. Many of the entries experimented with real-time communication and engagement.
